The project operates on stratified landscape signs. It tries to induce us to forgetfully discard the contemporary infrastructure signs whilst reopening sign memory of production of fresh agricultural produce.
A structural valley in the hilly landscape of Lisbon, traditionally related with vegetables production and an image of highly parceled green fields. In the sixties, the implementation of the access systems to the new bridge over the Tejo, led to the closure of the river and the eradication of all agricultural signs, with the exception of a registered 'farm' which became a municipal nursery, road, railway and sewage infrastructure were installed.The project adopts this topography to, once again, inscribe, agricultural signs in the valley, symbolized by terrace systems that reveal and describe the gradient variations like vegetable terraces reveal and describe the natural topography.This inscription confers the building and its functions, to a kind of ' reverse archeology’.
